What Is the Over or Under Baby Shower Game?

Over or Under is a guessing game where guests decide whether each statement about the mom‑to‑be is higher or lower than the real answer. You can customize the questions to fit her personality, pregnancy, or fun facts — or keep it general with universal prompts anyone can play.

It’s fast, lighthearted, and always leads to laughs when the real answers are revealed.

Why Guests Love This Game

Guests love this game because it’s easy, personal, and doesn’t require any special knowledge. Everyone can participate, and the mix of silly guesses and surprising truths keeps the energy fun and relaxed. It’s also a great filler activity that works well between food, gifts, or other games.

How to Play

1. Create a list of statements about the mom‑to‑be or general baby facts.
2. Guests guess whether each number is over or under the real answer.
3. Reveal the correct answers at the end.
